An indecent assault charge against ARIA-winning singer-songwriter Dan Sultan has been dropped.

The 37-year-old had been accused of indecent assault at Brunswick in Melbourne's inner-north on September 27, 2008.

But the charge was struck out during a hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Thursday.

Sultan, also known as Daniel Loorham, is based in Sydney and last year won an ARIA for best children's album.

He also took out best male artist and best blues and roots album in 2010.

In 2014, he won album, song and cover art of the year at the National Indigenous Music Awards.

The alleged incident over which Sultan was charged involved two adults at a party, the court was previously told.

Then aged 25, he was accused of indecent assault in circumstances where he knew the other person was not or might not be consenting, according to charge sheets.
